thebalanced.newsBangladesh Shifts Civil Servants' Training from Mussoorie to Lahore Amid Diplomatic Changes
Bangladesh has shifted its civil servants' mid-career training from India's Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy in Mussoorie to Pakistan's Civil Services Academy in Lahore amid strained India-Bangladesh relations and expired training agreements. Twelve senior Bangladeshi officials are attending the Lahore programme from May 4 to 21, marking the first structured training between Bangladesh and Pakistan in recent years. While Pakistan covers the costs, Bangladesh's previous training arrangement with India, established in 2014, has lapsed. Some in Dhaka view this change as temporary amid efforts to reset ties with India.
